Screening of the Coulomb field in a magnetized electron gas of a quantum cylinder

The quantum theory is constructed for screening of the Coulomb field of a point charge in a magnetized electron gas of a quantum cylinder. The asymptotics of the screened potential are calculated for both degenerate and Boltzmann electron gases. It is demonstrated that, in the degenerate case, apart from the known quasi-classical monotonic part, the result contains the quantum oscillating part, which corresponds to Friedel oscillations. The Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of the screened Coulomb interaction of electrons on a cylindrical surface are described analytically. It is shown that the Friedel oscillations can be represented as a superposition of oscillations with different frequencies which are determined by the macroscopic properties of the nanotube.     

On Coherent States of Relativistic Particles

Some general properties of coherent states of a particle in quantum mechanics are discussed and examples of relativistics coherent states of an electron moving in a steady and homogeneous field and in a non-stationary external field of special kind are presented. In particular cases this field may be a plane wave, a Redmond field (a superposition of plane wave and homogenous magnetic field), a superposition of a Redmond field and a longitudinal electric field or other physically interesting fields.     

The Wigner function and phase properties of superposition of two coherent states with the vacuum state

This paper discusses some statistical properties of the superposition of two coherent states with a vacuum state, such as sub-Poissonian photon statistics and negativity of the Wigner function. Phase probability distribution and phase variance are calculated. Special cases of the constructed superposition states are presented. The results show that depending on the vacuum state coefficient γ and the coherent state coefficient α, it can generate a variety of nonclassical states.     

Higher-Order Nonclassical Properties of a Shifted Symmetric Cat State and a One-Dimensional Continuous Superposition of Coherent States

Role of quantum interference in the origin of higher-order nonclassical characteristics of radiation field has been probed vis-à-vis a discrete and a continuous superposition of coherent states. Specifically, the possibilities of observing higher-order nonclassical properties (e.g., higher-order antibunching (HOA), higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics (HOSPS), higher-order squeezing (HOS) of Hong-Mandel type and Hillery type) have been investigated using a shifted symmetric cat state that reduces to Yurke-Stoler, even and odd coherent states at various limits. This shifted symmetric cat state which can be viewed as a discrete superposition of coherent states is found to show HOA and HOSPS. Similarly, higher-order nonclassical properties of a one-dimensional continuous superposition of coherent states is also studied here. The investigation has revealed the existence of HOS and HOSPS in the one-dimensional continuous superposition of coherent states studied here. Effect of non-Gaussianity inducing operations (e.g., photon addition and addition followed by subtraction) on these superposition states have also been investigated. Finally, some comparisons have been made between the higher-order nonclassical properties of discrete and continuous superposition of coherent states.     

Excitation of a hydrogen atom by bichromatic radiation with the frequency ratio 1:2 in the presence of electric field

In the framework of perturbation theory, a probability of excitation of a hydrogen atom from the ground to the first excited state under bichromatic laser radiation with the frequency ratio 1:2 in the presence of electric field is calculated, taking into account quantum interference of two process channels. In the case under study, a coherent superposition of the 2s-and 2p-states, necessary for quantum interference to occur, is formed under the action of the external electric field. The excitation probability is analyzed depending on the relative phase of monochromatic radiation components (the coherent phase control) for two extreme cases: for a strong electric field, where the Stark splitting of an upper level essentially exceeds the spin-orbit one, and for the contrary limit of a weak field. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 20–28, August, 2006.     

LINEAR AMPLIFIER VIA THE SQUEEZED COHERENT STATES SUPERPOSITIONS

Much attention is given for the squeezed coherent states (SCS's) superposition. The s-parameterized charactristic function (CF) for the output field with the superposition of SCS's as input field is given. The s-parameterized quasiprobabilty distribution function (QDF) for the output field with superposition of SCS's as input state are investigated. Various moments are calculated by using the s-parameterized CF for that field. The Glauber second-order coherence function is calculated. The quadrature squeezing for the output field are discussed. Some QDF's of the output fields are plotted as functions of the interaction time. Phase properties of the superpostion of SCS's are studied. The s-parameterized phase distributions obtained by integrating the s-parameterized QDF over radial variable are illustrated.     

Influences of decoherence on the generation of a macroscopic superposition state using weak cross-Kerr effect

Considering a system in which a single photon and a coherent field propagate through a Kerr medium, when the weak cross-Kerr interaction between the coherent state and the single photon under decoherence is involved, this paper derives analytically a macroscopic superposition state by the superoperator method and investigates the influences of decoherence on the coherence properties of the obtained state. It finds that the macroscopic superposition state will experience evolution from a pure superposition state to a mixed state in a dissipative environment and the Kerr effect makes the field display a periodic revival from decoherence for a short time.

Generalized Trio Coherent States

Generalized trio coherent states are made by superposing a number of trio coherent states. They possess inherent nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian distribution and violation of Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities. Their phase distribution in the framework of the Pegg and Barnett theory is discussed. We study the interaction of the radiation field prepared in a generalized trio coherent state with an atom in a superposition coherent state in the rotating wave approximation. We investigate the time dependence of the sub-Poissonian distribution and the violation of Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities for such a system. General conclusions reached are illustrated by numerical results.
